Growing Cricket In Tasmania: A Cross-Cultural Comparison, Elizabeth Ann Stanford
Growing Cricket In Tasmania: A Cross-Cultural Comparison, Elizabeth Ann Stanford
Honors Theses
Sports are an integral part of life in societies throughout the world. Cricket is one of Australia’s two major sports and is a significant aspect of its culture, in a fashion similar to baseball being America’s “national pastime.” Despite its isolation, Tasmania, the small island state of Australia, shares the same mania for cricket as mainland Australia. While in Tasmania for ten weeks interning with the Tasmanian Cricket Association (TCA), I studied the role of cricket in the day-to-day lives of Tasmanians, from the pervasive television, newspaper, and the radio coverage, to pick-up cricket games as a popular leisure time …
The Bush Administration’S Torture Policy: Outright Disregard For The Rule Of Law And Human Rights, Lyndsay Wehrum
The Bush Administration’S Torture Policy: Outright Disregard For The Rule Of Law And Human Rights, Lyndsay Wehrum
Honors Theses
September 11, 2001 was an infamous day in American history that shocked not only the U.S. but also the World; it generated turmoil and distress for the economy, security, citizen’s lives, and U.S. power. The Bush administration’s response was a “war on terror” which involved a complete manipulation and disregard for national and international laws and the essential authorization of torture at U.S. controlled foreign detention centers. These policies spread by moving down the “chain of command” and into the hands of guards and interrogators that abused, humiliated, and in some cases killed detainees in U.S. control. If anything, the …
The Effects Of Fire And Deer Herbivory On Oak Regeneration In An Eastern Deciduous Forest, Julie La Spina
The Effects Of Fire And Deer Herbivory On Oak Regeneration In An Eastern Deciduous Forest, Julie La Spina
Honors Theses
In the past, oak was one of the most dominant species groups in the deciduous forests of the northeastern United States. More recently, a variety of factors, including interspecific competition, fire suppression and deer herbivory, have led to the decline of oaks. We studied how oaks regenerate and grow following a major disturbance, and how their growth interacts with deer herbivory. We measured the growth of seedlings of three tree species following the 1,200 hectare Overlook Fire that occurred in Minnewaska State Park, NY in April 2008. At each of three sites, we measured the growth of twenty Quercus prinus, …
The Role And Growth Of Celebritization In Presidential Campaign Coverage, Johnathan Bradford Long
The Role And Growth Of Celebritization In Presidential Campaign Coverage, Johnathan Bradford Long
Honors Theses
The thesis covers the growing role of entertainment and celebrity-style news in the domain of hard presidential campaign television news coverage. Having done prior research on such entertainment news outlets as E! News, Entertainment Tonight, Access Hollywood, among others, I found that I was seeing the same treatment of celebrities as hard news programs were giving to presidential candidates. In light of this thought, the study covers what has been written about the evolution of presidential campaigns and the integration of celebrity news elements into campaigns. This study also performs a media analysis on the network news …
The N-Word : Comprehending The Complexity Of Stratification In American Community Settings, Anne V. Benfield
The N-Word : Comprehending The Complexity Of Stratification In American Community Settings, Anne V. Benfield
Honors Theses
The N-word’s remarkable durability, combined with American’s willingness to find uses for this epithet, illustrate the extent to which racial unease continues to permeate our culture. Its various definitions and spellings are continuously debated by academia, creating a dynamic topic for sociological evaluation. Overall, the N-word is alive and mobile, fluid and engraved in the American psyche, as a symbol. Some propose to condemn the word, while others attempt to rehabilitate and convert its meaning from a negative slur to a gesture of solidarity. The controversial debate of the N-word can be examined from multitudinous sociological theories, encompassing elements of …
El Feminismo Antes De Su Tiempo : Escritoras Estadounidenses En La Guerra Civil Española, Julie La Spina
El Feminismo Antes De Su Tiempo : Escritoras Estadounidenses En La Guerra Civil Española, Julie La Spina
Honors Theses
Cuando la Guerra Civil española estalló en 1936, muchos americanos fueron a España para ayudar en la lucha contra del fascismo. Además de los 2800 hombres estadounidenses que lucharon en la guerra, aproximadamente 80 mujeres trabajaron como conductoras, enfermeras y técnicas de laboratorio. Muchas escritoras decidieron ir a España como periodistas y reporteras también. Entre las escritoras que estuvieron en España durante la guerra se encuentran Martha Gellhorn, Frances Davis, Josephine Herbst y Lillian Hellman. Es aparente que estas cuatro escritoras eran progresistas y ayudaron a iniciar el movimiento feminista a través de sus obras y sus acciones en la …
